Soccer, Introducing a Blue Card Instead of Yellow and Red?
It is expected that we will see referees taking out blue cards in future soccer games.
A blue card is a temporary dismissal penalty of 10 minutes.
On the 9th (Korean time), APTN and the British BBC announced that the International Football Association Board (IFAB) expanded the ‘blue card’, which gives a temporary 10-minute expulsion to players who excessively protest referee decisions or commit strategic fouls that prevent the opponent from scoring in soccer games. 온라인카지노
It was reported that the pilot operation plan is scheduled to be announced today.
Players who receive a blue card can stay in the new-bin (temporary exit area) for 10 minutes and then re-enter the stadium.
Just like the yellow card, you will be kicked out if you receive 2 blue cards, and you will also be kicked out if you receive 1 yellow card and 1 blue card.
However, it has not yet been decided when the blue card will be introduced on a pilot basis and to what leagues it will be implemented.
The English professional football Premier League (EPL) has already opposed becoming a testing ground for any new system.
FIFA also expressed concern, saying, “It is premature to discuss a blue card at the elite level,” and added, “If a new system is to be introduced on a pilot basis, it must be tested in an appropriate manner starting from the lower leagues.”
In order to emphasize the spirit of fair play in youth soccer in the 2018-2019 season, the England Football Association (FA) gave blue cards on a trial basis in cases of excessive protests against decisions, and announced that the number of judgment protests in 31 youth academy leagues decreased by 38%.
In England, it was applied to the five men’s national leagues (EFL lower leagues) and the women’s soccer third division and below.
